Gold prices edged higher, reflecting growing anticipation for the upcoming U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) report. Traders are closely monitoring the data as it could influence the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy stance. Rate cut expectations have already lent support to the precious metal, pushing it closer to multi-month highs.

The market is increasingly optimistic that inflation figures may justify a pause or even a reversal in the Fed’s rate hikes. Lower interest rates typically bolster gold’s appeal as they reduce the opportunity cost of holding the non-yielding asset. As a result, gold futures climbed to $2,680 per ounce during early trading, signaling sustained demand.

Meanwhile, a softer U.S. dollar has further buoyed gold’s rally. Weakness in the greenback often makes commodities priced in dollars more attractive to global buyers. The precious metal has also benefited from renewed concerns over economic growth, prompting investors to seek safe-haven assets amid uncertainty.

Analysts remain divided on the long-term outlook, citing potential headwinds from resilient labor markets and robust consumer spending. However, the near-term focus is firmly on CPI data, with any surprises likely to cause volatility in gold markets as traders recalibrate their expectations.
